Together #WeRise National Day of Action
On Monday, February 26, the Supreme Court begins hearing the oral arguments of Janus v. AFSCME, a case that could usher in “Right-to-Work (for less),” a longtime scheme of anti-worker politicians and greedy corporations.
The goal of “Right-to-Work (for less)” is simple: to silence our collective voice by making it harder for working people to come together in unions.
We must stick together! No matter what the Supreme Court decides, no one can take our power if we stand united.
Join union members, community organizations, elected officials, and faith leaders from across Los Angeles for a massive display of unity and power. Together, we can protect all we’ve built: living wages, healthcare, workplace protections, a secure retirement, and a voice on the job.
